A man on felony probation was taken into custody Wednesday for violating his probation.

In October 2009, Israel Reyes was sentenced to 40 months in a Department of Corrections facility, followed by 32 months of probation, for two counts of attempted second-degree murder with a firearm and shooting at or into a dwelling.

According to court and jail documents, Reyes, 23, was seen Wednesday driving by a law enforcement official who checked the tag on the Chevy and found that the registration had expired in January. Reyes said he had just bought the car from someone in Daytona, and added that his driver’s license was suspended in 2010 over a child support issue.

He was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail. His next court date is May 30.
